Abstract: In some examples, a system identifies resource contention for a resource in a storage system, and determines that a workload collection that employs data reduction is consuming the resource. The system identifies relative contributions to consumption of the resource attributable to storage volumes in the storage system, where the workload collection that employs data reduction are performed on data of the storage volumes. The system determines whether storage space savings due to application of the data reduction for a given storage volume of the storage volumes satisfy a criterion, and in response to determining that the storage space savings for the given storage volume do not satisfy the criterion, the system indicates that the data reduction is not to be applied for the given storage volume.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product aspects for managing a storage system. In an aspect, a host device may generate a configuration corresponding to a file and transmit the configuration to a memory device, such as 3D NAND memory. The configuration instructs the memory device to refrain from transmitting a logic-to-physical (L2P) dirty entry notification to the host device. The L2P dirty entry notification corresponds to the file. The host device may also generate a second configuration corresponding to the file and transmit the second configuration to the memory device. The second configuration instructs the memory device to resume transmitting the L2P dirty entry notification corresponding to the file to the host device.
